BTC/USD

Since last Tuesday when the price of #Bitcoin was around $6500 we have seen a downfall of over 30% measured to the lowest levels Bitcoin’s been today, which is at $4529.



This move to the $4700 area was expected as the price action formed a bearish pennant from which, if you were to project the length of the prior move from the apex, you would get a target at around $4700. Also, this was the target area for the descending triangle breakout seen on the daily chart below.

From that high, the price went back to the levels from which the increase around $4500 was made and then continued to move to the downside. Measured to the current level of $3748 the price of Bitcoin has fallen by 24.65%.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that the price action is indicating a downtrend even though it looks like the price has stabilized at around $3782, where the horizontal significant level is serving as support. Since the price interacted with the level for the third time in the last couple of days, currently we are seeing that the price is below the mentioned level.

From last Thursday when the price of Litecoin was $35.419 at its open, measured to the current levels on which the crypto is being traded, the price has only decreased by 1.08%. The price did go lower from last Thursdays open, as it was the minor Z wave ending point from which another drop has been made to $27.46 area where the horizontal significant level is.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that the price interacted with the mentioned level with a spike down on Sunday when the cryptocurrency market was at its lowest from the start of the year. Since the low has been made the price started to recover and has at first came up to the downtrends resistance line where it got rejected. But as the rejection ended with a higher low, enough momentum was picked up for a breakout at the second attempt.

Since our last week’s analysis on Tuesday, November 27, when the price of Bitcoin was at its lowest point at $3759, it has even spiked to $3683, but the hourly candle has closed above leaving a wick.



Since that low, which was the lowest price, has been since the start of the year, we saw an increase up to $4416, which was a higher high compared to the previous one at $4169. From there on the price started decreasing and since it came down to the horizontal support level at $4045, price action created a higher low, indicating the start of an uptrend and an ascending channel outline started forming.

Since our last week analysis on Thursday, November 29th, when the price of Litecoin was at $35.14 measured to the current levels at around $29.6, the cryptocurrency has decreased in value by 15.87%.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that the price didn’t go down in a straight line. Instead, the price fell at first to around $32, which was considered to be a higher high at the time a normal retracement after the upswing that broken the prior downtrend resistance. But as you can see the price increased again after establishing support but failed to exceed the prior high as it came to $35.4 area again and was stopped out.

Looking at the hourly chart, we can see that the price broke out from the descending channel on the downside and went below two significant support levels – the downtrend support line 2 (bold black line) and the horizontal support level at around $3439, going to $3306 at its lowest point on last Friday, December 7th.

At the moment of our last week’s analysis on Thursday, December 6th, the price of #Litecoin was around $25.8. From there the price went down to around $23.2 and even spiked further down but the hourly candle has closed above leaving a wick on the hourly chart as you can see below. From there the price went to recover and has increased to $27 but fell again to $23.7.



This continued and the price action has formed a triangle, which looks like a bearish pennant considering the price action context. Its resistance line is the support from the previous structure and it was well respected in the past both on the previous structure as support and now as resistance.

At the moment of our last week’s analysis on Tuesday, December 11th the price of Bitcoin was $3524.5. As the price was in a downward trajectory it kept falling after a small increase and has broken some minor support trendlines in the process line, the minor uptrend line from the December 7th low and the horizontal support level from that low as well and came down to the next significant horizontal level at $3237, which served as support. This whole down move dating from 9th of December when the price of Bitcoin came up to $3713 at its peak is the corrective wave X, which meant that another increase was to be expected to around the same levels or a bit lower than the hight of the W wave ending point.



This is exactly what happened as the price of Bitcoin increased by 14% from the horizontal support level at $3237 to $3683, which is close to the vicinity of the W wave ending point. Now, when the price has reached those levels and the Y wave is most likely over, we are seeing a correction and judging by the wick from above the price has encountered the sellers’ territory. This pushes the price back, most likely to the black bold line, which is the baseline support 2 of the downtrend, where it is going to retest the support as the price previously broke it from above.

LTC/USD

Since the beginning of the year, the price of Litecoin has been in an upward trajectory increasing exponentially from $30.7. LTC/USD reached $34.970 at it’s highest point yesterday, thus, the growth was around 14%. On Thursday, the altcoin price has decreased from $34.38 to the current level of $33.56. Measuring from January, 1 to the current levels, the pair is still up by 9.22%. But we may see further downside as a minor retracement for Litecoin in the upcoming period.



On the hourly chart, after an impulsive 12345 led the price of Litecoin up to $37.146 a correction occurred pushing the price down to $28.7. I have labeled this move as the W wave from the Minute WXY correction which is likely playing out after the impulsive move up. After the W wave was completed and the price action formed a descending channel, a breakout from the upside occurred. This pattern occurred next time as well but on a minor scale. And both times a descending channel was formed making the price escape from the upside.

From January 1st when the price of Bitcoin was $3797 at its lowest the cryptocurrency price has increased. BTC/USD is currently trading at around $4140 which is an increase of 9%. The price went further up since the start of the year and was $4218 at its highest point so far on Sunday.



On the hourly chart, the price action has created a triangle, and the price has broken out from it on Sunday when it reached $4218 making it the yearly high so far. The BTC/USD pair broke the horizontal resistance at around $4000 as well a minor one at $4081 (the prior two highs level). The BTC price also broke the descending channel formed since the price reached the bold black line. As the cryptocurrency moved close to the black bold line, the significant downtrend support, it’s likely going to retest the level from the downside again.

During the week the price of Litecoin fell from $40.113 on Monday to the current levels at around $35.40. Thus, the cryptocurrency has depreciated in price by 11.83%. The price went further up to around $42 area on Tuesday making a higher high surpassing the previous one at $37.312. From there the altcoin fell quickly to $34.57 and has recovered to its current level at $35.358.



On the hourly chart, the price dropped from the $39.732 level today, decreasing by 12.62% in one go. The LTC/USD is on the current uptrend support line now and has bounced off of it nicely as since the interaction occurred 1.95% green candles were formed. This isn’t still enough to say that it won’t continue going lower and break the support level as the momentum behind the sell-off looks strong.

From the start of the week, the price of Bitcoin was in an upward trajectory and has come from yesterday’s open at $3580 to $3801 at its highest point yesterday. Since yesterday’s high, the price has been retracing and is currently sitting at $3729, which is an overall increase of 4.07%.



Looking at the hourly chart you can see that the price action has created a minor descending channel in which the price is retracing from the moment it hit the 0.5 Fibonacci level. As the wave structure looks impulsive, I believe that the move to the upside has one more wave to go. That is why after the retracement I would expect the price of Bitcoin to go up to $3880 before this move has ended.

Last Thursday the price of #Litecoin was $39.8. From there it started falling down fast as it came from $39,75 to $32,72 at the lowest point on the same day, which is a drop of 17.5%. The price continued its downward trajectory and reached $32.5 on Friday, but the price stabilized around $32.48 level over the weekend and even started increasing on Sunday when it came up to $33.426. But more movement to the downside has been made from there as the price came down to $30.47 on Monday.



From there on the price has started increasing and came up by 9.76% as it reached $33.366 slightly above the 0.5 Fibonacci level. But since it also came to the minor downtrends resistance it started decreasing again. Hence, the sellers pushed the price back below the 0.5 Fibo level again with a struggle at first. Then the sellers showed more determination as a large 5% red candle occurred, which is only 2% lower from the previous green one to the upside.

Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that the price of Bitcoin was steadily decreasing from last Tuesday’s price at first. But then later during the day it dropped by 2% in just one hour coming down from $3713 to $3640, where the ending point of the first wave of the previous impulsive move to the upside or Minute W wave, where some support was established.

Since last week’s analysis on Thursday 17th when the price of Litecoin was $31.9, the price of the cryptocurrency has been going sideways to $30.755, the lower line from the range, which is stuck, and then to the upper resistance line of the range around $33.742.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that the price action created a consolidative range, which looks like a descending triangle between the 0.618 and the 0.5 Fibonacci level. The price went above the 0.5 Fibonacci level on Saturday and interacted with the upper line resistance level at $33.742. After an interaction the price fell quickly down to the range support line at $30.755 and stayed around there retesting it again on around Monday.

Since last week when the price of Bitcoin was $3593 on Monday, the price has increased at first to $3666. It was an upper level from the range where the price was bouncing inside throughout most of the week. Then an attempt has been made to breakout from that range on the upside on Saturday when the price came up to $3705 and spiked even further to $3750.



The attempt ended as a fakeout and the hourly candle was left with a huge wick, which entered sellers’ territory and activated the selling. It caused the price to go down back to the support line of the range where it was bouncing before finally. It started breaking out from the range on the downside and has fallen to $3429 at its lowest point today.

Since last Thursday when the price of #Litecoin was $32.3 things haven’t changed much as the price is currently at the same levels.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that this didn’t happen in a straight line as the price of Litecoin went further up and came to $34.254 from last Thursday’s price, which was on the 0.786 Fibonacci level. But since the price encountered resistance there it was rejected and went down to the next horizontal level to find support, which was slightly above the 0.5 Fibonacci level or in price terms at $30.755.

At the moment of the last week’s analysis on Tuesday 29th of January, the price of Bitcoin was $3430 at its lowest point. That was the end of the 3rd wave to the downside from the Minute impulsive move, which is the corrective wave Z of a higher degree Minor count. After this downfall from $3707 ended the 4th wave has begun and the price action created an ascending channel in which a Minuette WXY occurred.



The price increased to $3553 at first going higher than the previous lower high on the 4th Minute wave of the 3rd Minute one at $3506 at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level and then fell down to $3477, which was a higher low compared to the ending point of the 3rd Minute wave ending point. This was an early indication of the minor uptrend and was continued for another cycle going just slightly above the prior high, but then fell exactly on the same level as the prior low, which is an indication of the momentum slowing down and shifting direction.

From yesterday’s open at $34.755 the price of #Litecoin has started plummeting down, falling by 5.66% to its lowest point yesterday at $32.774. Since then, the price has gained some upward traction and is currently sitting at around $34 – slightly below yesterday’s price.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that yesterday’s open was the interaction with the ascending channel’s resistance line resulted in a rejection pushing the price strongly below the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level and below the horizontal resistance zone (interrupted purple lines), which were serving as support on the way up above the 0.786.

From last week’s analysis on Tuesday, February 5th when the price of Bitcoin was $3501 the price has decreased at first as the resistance there was too strong for it to break out. Then the price has fallen to $3437 where it was hovering around in a minor horizontal range until Friday, when BTC started increasing exponentially and went from $3440 to $3800 at it’s highest spike. It was an increase of 10.5%.



As the price came up to the mentioned levels and interacted with the 0.5 Fibonacci level, we saw a retracement to the 0.328 Fibonacci level on which the price has retested it for support. The price is currently in an upward trajectory. But since there is a strong resistance point above it even if the price action has created a bull flag, we might not see a breakout just yet, as the price needs to establish firm support first.

Over the course of the last seven days, the price of Litecoin has increased by 24% as it went from $33.5 on last Thursday to $48.87 at its highest spike on last Friday but has since come down to and is currently sitting at $41.8.



On the hourly chart, we can see that the price broke out from the ascending channel on the upside with strong momentum last Friday. The wave structure implies that this is the continuation of the increase we have seen started in December last year when the price of Litecoin came up from $23.3 to $42, which has been labeled as the W wave and is the first wave out of the correction to the upside labeled as the Minor WXY.

From last week’s analysis on Tuesday, February 12th, when the price of Bitcoin was $3659 at its lowest point, the price has increased by 10.15% from today’s highest point of $4029. The price is currently at $3976.5, lower than the horizontal resistance at $3994.4 where the price has encountered resistance.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that the price broke out from the descending channel in which it was retracing since the first increase to the upside made on Friday 8th. The retracement was more of consolidation since we have seen it throughout the last 10 days. Strong momentum was shown as the price broke out many of the significant resistance points to the upside. The most significant one is the bold black line, which is the baseline support since the start of the bear market and was serving as resistance when it got broken on 21st of November last year.

From last Thursday when the price of #Litecoin was $51.54 at its lowest point, we have seen an increase of 27.78% measured to yesterday’s highest point of $53.511.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that the price of Litecoin has met my target as the 5th wave fully developed. It came up to the horizontal support zone’s median line and is now serving as strong resistance. The horizontal range has been entered, but since the interaction with the median line yesterday, the price has quickly started falling and came down by 6.76% in a matter of hours, indicating that the price has indeed entered the sellers’ territory.

Over the weekend the price of Bitcoin has continued its bullish trajectory as another increase was made of around 6.69% and the price of Bitcoin increased from $3994.4 on Friday’s low to around $4260 on Sunday’s highest point. But since the price came to those levels it started falling down fast and came to $3831 at its lowest point yesterday, which was a decrease of 10.16%. The price is currently sitting at $3890, slightly higher than its lowest point yesterday, but also slightly lower than its highest point at $3962.



Looking at the hourly chart, we can see that the price has interacted with the baseline support (bold black line) on yesterday’s low. It was the most significant resistance point to the upside and is the most significant support line from the start of the bear market. The price action created an ascending channel, which could likely end as a retest of the $3994.4 horizontal resistance level. It was broken on the yesterday’s decrease.

From last week’s analysis, when the price of Bitcoin was $3925, we have seen stagnation as the price was hovering sideways around those level until yesterday, when another decrease of 3.12% was made from $3906 to $3784.



Looking at the hourly chart, we can see that yesterday’s decrease was a breakout from the horizontal range in which the price moved sideways, consolidating after the initial drop of over 10%. The price fell to the most significant support level which is the baseline support since the start of the bear market and has found support there as it retested the level twice before going in an upward trajectory again.

From Monday when the price of Litecoin was around $46 at the open, measured to its highest point at $58.63, we have seen an increase of 27.52%.



Looking at the hourly chart, you can see that the price has entered the resistance zone once more and has managed to come up to its upper level, even going slightly above it. But since the resistance there was strong the price has started struggling to keep up its bullish momentum.

Previously as we have seen an impulsive move to the upside, which was the Y wave for the WXY correction, I don’t believe that this is the start of a new one. Most likely we are seeing a retest of the previous support for the resistance. Now this happened and I would be expecting a retracement as the price of Litecoin increased by 146.56% from 15th of December when it was around $24.

We might see another attempt for a breakout to the upside, but I wouldn’t expect it to continue for much longer as it will most likely end as a fakeout. According to my count, we have seen the end of the three-wave correction to the upside, so now either a trend continuation should occur or further prolongation of the mentioned correction in a form of the second wave X.

BTC/USD

Last Tuesday when the price of #Bitcoin was $3783 at its lowest point we have seen an increase of 4.88% as the price was coming up to $3954 until 6th of March. From there the price action continued moving to the upside but in smaller moves, which made an ascending channel that lead the price to the horizontal resistance level at $3994.4. It was first crossed from the upside but this quick fakeout lead to a steep downfall back to the 0.618 Fibonacci level at the $3936 support.



After the price found support there it started increasing again in a five-wave manner and managed to go once again above the $3994.4 resistance line slightly higher than before as it came to $4043 at its highest spike. But since it entered the sellers’ territory another downtrend started in a three-wave manner as the price came down to the first horizontal support from the previous sideways channel at around $3901 at its lowest point today.

From last Tuesday when the price of #Bitcoin was $3903 at its lowest we have seen an increase of 5.68% as the price came up to around $4130 at its highest point on Saturday. Since the high, the price has been retracing back and came down to $4041 at its lowest point so far and is currently sitting at $4080.



Looking at the hourly chart we can see that the price of Bitcoin came to its first significant resistance point around the intersection between the 0.786 Fibonacci level and the falling wedge resistance line as projected. This upswing was expected as the Y wave from the second Minute correction to the upside. The most upper resistance point is at around $4300 which is the horizontal support zone, now serving as resistance so another increase to those levels could be a possibility if the price is set to retest further resistance.
